Our daily math time

We have a math block that is around an hour every day in kindergarten, and I thought I would share what it looks like in our class! Each math block starts off with a warm-up of some kind, whether it's counting to a certain number together, mixing up a number line and putting the numbers back in order, singing a math song, or reading a math-related book. Then we have a math lesson as a whole group, where we learn a new skill, game or concept. Most days, the students practice the game or skill independently or in partners. Then we go to "math tubs," which are games and manipulatives that students play in groups of three, which help reinforce math concepts including numeracy, patterns, graphing, and number writing. Ms. Kirby and I both work with small groups on specific math skills during this time.

Below are some pictures of our math hour.
